KARNAL: A trader was shot at by three unidentified miscreants inside his shop at Gharounda town in Karnal district on Friday evening. The victim, identified as 48-year-old Vinod Juneja, was admitted to a hospital, where his condition was said to be stable.
Agitated over the incident, traders downed the shutters and held a protest on Saturday demanding the arrest of the guilty. They also blocked the service road of National Highway-44 near railway road chowk for around two hours over “police inaction”.
Gharounda Vyapar Mandal president Madan Lal said three miscreants barged into the shop and asked Vinod to hand over the cash. When he opposed them, the miscreants fired at him. Vinod received one bullet in his stomach.
